Description of the problem	2003 stratus sxt. Numerous water leaks. I bought this car brand new in march 2003. By april it had a really strong mildew smell. It was found to have a water leak in the trunk(after they tore apart the front of my car looking for the leak). They wanted to shampoo the carpet, i made them replace the carpet. Since then the car has been back to in the shop 3 other times and they have found 7 other water leaks. I am extremely disappointed with this car help!!!!!! I've tried to talk to the manager at hendrick dodge where i bought the car, but he was a complete jerk. I've tried contacting the manufacturer, but they say that since the leak was repaired there is nothing they can do. I can understand maybe 1 leak but 8? Give me a break, what ever happened to customer service? I have been a long time dodge person, but i think after this they will not get anymore of my business. Thanks, mda in nc. *la
